Beyond Jung: Jung & Ecology

Name: Beyond Jung: Jung & Ecology
Start: 2025-11-22
End: 2025-11-22
Location: Pari, Italy

Six Jungian analysts and academics at the cutting edge of this exciting and crucial area of research and practice share their diverse modes of professional engagement.

This is the second set of talks in a new ‘Beyond Jung’ series hosted by the Pari Center, honouring the seminal work and inspiration of the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung. Our title, ‘Jung and Ecology’, refers to the contribution of Jung’s prescient insights, and of his Analytical Psychology in general, to the emerging discipline of ecopsychology. This can be summed up in his famous and alarming assertion that “The world hangs by a thin thread… and that thread is the psyche of man.” Despite his old-fashioned language, four of our six presenters are women!

Ecopsychology is a broad church, gaining momentum over recent decades as our awareness of the ecological crisis and our alienation from nature increase. It embraces a range of approaches, from using psychology to address environmental issues to integrating the natural world into psychotherapeutic practice. Our six expert presenters will share their individual approaches across this spectrum, five of them as practising Jungian analysts. Their professional backgrounds, which include ecology, education, climate science and renewable energy, inform and enrich their diverse perspectives. We are also honoured to count an Indigenous Jungian analyst among our presenters.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a highly topical and engaging series of presentations.
